Hi Mathew,

So you have two electric fuel pumps to maintain?  I may be wrong, but I 
remember reading somewhere that the Racor water separator requires a vacuum for 
the design to work, to through moisture droplets out against the outer shell.  
It is to be installed on the suction side of a lift pump or a fuel pump.  A 
booster pump feeding it may not be the best solution and is probably hiding a 
leaking fuel line or fitting.  Just sayin.

BTW, these electric fuel pumps sometimes have a screen filter inside.
